The misconduct trial of Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold is postponed until November, according to the county state's attorney's office.

Leopold was set to stand trial on Sept. 4; however, his defense attorney has requested additional time.

Leopold was indicted on March 2 on charges that he misused his security detail for personal or political business.

Leopold was charged in March on accusations that he used police officers as campaign workers and, on other occasions, instructed officers to drive him to sexual encounters in parking lots with a former employee of the county executive's office.

Leopold has also been accused of ordering officers to open up dossiers on his political opponents to spy on them.

Last month, Police Chief James Teare announced his retirement, which effectively ended an investigation into his conduct related to the Leopold investigation.
